What time of day is best for spa?
Before and after a day’s work or, after a long work day, the spa is very handy for releasing stress before dinner. It’s also a great spot to unwind while keeping up with the family. Before your spa day, avoid using any harsh skin products that might react with spa treatments. It’s also a good idea to exfoliate a day before, so your skin is primed to absorb the full benefits of any lotions or oils used during massages and treatments.
What not to do before a spa day?
Before your spa day, avoid using any harsh skin products that might react with spa treatments. It’s also a good idea to exfoliate a day before, so your skin is primed to absorb the full benefits of any lotions or oils used during massages and treatments. The most common spa treatments are massages, manicures/pedicures and facials. However, you might also see offered such treatments as a body scrub/exfoliation, a fingers or toes file & polish (like a mini manicure or pedicure) or a scalp massage.
Do you shower before a spa?
Yes, it’s courteous to shower before arriving, especially if you’ve been sweating or have applied lotions and perfumes. This ensures a more pleasant experience for both you and the therapist. Showering immediately after a massage may reduce their effectiveness. Try to wait at least 1–2 hours before showering, unless advised otherwise by your therapist. Also, be mindful of deep tissue massage sessions—your muscles may be tender. A gentle rinse or warm bath later in the day is often more beneficial.
